I built this welding table the night before Christmas and like moths to a flame it's already attracted a bunch of tools, I dunno how this happens.

What's a pirate's favorite noble gas?

Aarrrgon!

The metalfab laser welder needs argon for cutting and welding steel, and 80cu ft seemed like a good starting size. I estimate a good 5-7 hrs of welding/cutting time for a full tank.

Squee!!!🤩🫠🤓🥳🤯

My new @xtool-official.bsky.social metal fab 1200w laser welder just arrived!

Now if only I had a 220v 30a 6-30 receptacle for it...

And argon gas...

And metal to cut & weld...

look what you made me do.

OK I got the main parts cleaned down to metal. That cooked thru a half dozen batteries on my drill but they're done. Next I'll figure out how to clean and polish up the clamps, and pick a nice fresh hard coat enamel to refinish it. Or maybe... Cure it like a skillet? Dunno 🤔

Dear God I need a vise to hold the vise parts so I can clean them

OK I got my hands on a fully functioning Craftsman 5180 vise!

Picked up off Craigslist for only $60!

I said to the seller, "they don't make em like they used to!"

He goes, "yea American made!"

And then I flip it over...
